And tazing after repeated refusal to comply vs. physically wrestling/hitting with a baton/shooting is a far better & safer alternative. And the dumbass deserved it anyway for the confrontational attitude & refusing to do as he was told - it's a crock that he was aquitted of resisting, since apparently he fought them even when already down.

Be careful... rational thinking and compliance with law enforcement officers talk doesn't go far around here.
Prevailing opinion is that when a cop tases someone, the cop is always presumed to be the one at fault until the douchebag involved gets awarded money for disrespecting authority.
Then the story automatically changes to "police aren't effective".
